Also...isn't this proposed rule change up for consideration at the league meetings next week?

Third-quarterback rule: Teams would be allowed to carry 47 active players on game day, but the extra player would have to be a quarterback. Currently, teams are allowed to dress 46 players. The NFL used to allow teams to carry an emergency third quarterback on game day, but the league scrapped that rule in 2011. The rule came up again after the 49ers ran out of quarterbacks in their NFC title game loss to the Eagles. 

Don't know why they ever changed that in the 1st place.

 

Active slot limits are stupid anyways. It's just a way for the teams to save a few million dollars a year on their contracts by not giving those players their game day bonuses

Aside from optical issues, it really don't make sense for the rest of the offense to have to make that big of an adjust from a 5'10" guy to a 6'6". I'm sure handoffs, O-line protection/windows, ball placement etc are all weird adjustments.

This. You have 53 guys on your roster. All 53 should be dressed and available.

He will certainly benefit from having Dalton there as well as McCown and the other coaching staff. 

Hope this has cheered him up a bit.

Pretty much. Even if he doesn't get a chance to start he's still extremely young. He could look at it like a learning opportunity with a competent staff and a smart as fug #1 overall pick in the room as well. At worst he could have a long career as a backup if he shows any kind of comptentence in pre season or if the worst happens in regular season and we need him in there.

And if the rule isn't changed and Corral is cut, someone really has some explaining to do on why we drafted him in the first place. People like to blame Rhule for everything now but there is no reason he would have wanted to trade down to obtain a developmental qb when his ass was on the hot seat.  And don't tell me Rhule thought a late third round qb pick was going to buy him more time (already heard that from someone on here).

This. I get it, everyone wants to be a starter and a star but an NFL backup QB is a pretty sweet gig. Plenty of guys have made a LOT of money and took minimal physical damage by being career backups. 

When you're his age you don't have a lot of life experience and perspective. But he'd be wise to look at the starting salaries of jobs he'd be looking at with his degree (assuming he graduated) outside of football. I'm pretty sure that holding a clipboard on an NFL sideline would start looking a lot more appealing

Think of it as players being cards in a deck. You go into "battle" each week with 46 cards out of your deck of 53 because of injuries creating an "unfair" advantage. If you could use all 53 cards during a "Battle" the team that has 1 superstar and 2 above average players and 2 average players on the sidelines for that week for any number of short term injuries would be fighting the "battle" with 48 cards against a team with good health playing 53 cards creating an inherent unfair advantage.

Now, if it is conducive in 2023 for this rule to exist (it is to a degree) and could the NFL benefit from expanding 53-man rosters to like 55 or 58-man rosters to allow more players and therefor allowing more active slots on gameday is def a good point to go after the NFL for..

McCown is the perfect person to help him with perspective.

He probably also learned a bit watching the poo show that was Sam/Baker and PJ actually getting the starts at one point after being DOA as the 4th qb in camp.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
